Consider the following statements regarding clutches 1. Dry clutch has higher coefficient of friction compared to wet clutch 2. The torque capacity of wet clutch is high compared to dry clutch. 3. The engagement in a dry clutch is smoother than in case of wet clutch. Which of the above statements is/are correct ? Correct Answer 1 only

Explanation:

The difference between dry and wet clutches is as follows:

  • A dry clutch has higher coefficient of friction. In wet clutches, the coefficient of friction is reduced due to oil. The coefficient of friction for dry operation is 0.3 or more, while it is 0.1 or less for wet operation.
  • The torque capacity of dry clutch is high compared with the torque capacity of wet clutch of the same dimensions due to the same reason mentioned in above point.
  • For dry clutch, it is necessary to prevent contamination due to moisture or nearby lubricated machinery, by providing seals Such a problem is not serious in wet clutches.
  • Heat dissipation is more difficult in dry clutches. In wet clutches, the lubricating oil carries away the frictional heat.
  • Rate of wear is far less in wet clutches compared to dry clutches. The wear rate in wet clutches is about 1% of the rate expected in dry clutches.
  • The engagement in wet clutch is smoother than in the case of dry clutch.
  • In wet clutches, the clutch facings are grooved to provide for passage of lubricant. This reduces the net face area for transmitting torque.

In the case of the design of friction clutches, the uniform rate of wear theory is used over uniform pressure. The reasons may be the following: 1. It gives lower frictional torque. 2. It gives higher frictional torque. 3. The intensity of pressure is maximum at the inner radius and minimum at the outer radius of the friction or contact surfaces. 4. This concept is prevalent for running and old clutches. Which of the above reasons is correct?

Which of the following is NOT true about Frictional force? A. Friction is the force which opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. B. The force of friction that acts when a body is moving (sliding) on a surface is called sliding friction. C. Friction in machines wastes energy and also causes wear and tear. D.
